NiP vs. Fnatic @ESL Predictions

Fnatic will be playing with dennis instead of Krimz today, which if you think about it, is not that bad a replacement. This will be a BO1 on Cache, which is not the strongest map for NIP either.

The last time these two played on this map, fnatic stomped them 16-7. Both teams have had ups and downs on Cache recently, NIP lost 16-3 to TSM, beat Liquid 16-10, and again lost to TSM 16-5.

Fnatic on the other hand, had some impressive results on the map, until they got destroyed by VP in Dubai. Their other recent results on the map were 16-3 and 16-8 victories over mouz and Dignitas respectively.

Overall even with a stand-in, I give fnatic the odds here, and would put my odds at around 60-40. For me right now, I am hoping the odds drop on fnatic a little bit, so it makes a good bet, otherwise I will SKIP.
